Shortly after its founding, DUCTZ began franchising in 2004. In 2006, DUCTZ merged with Tom Yacobellis’ and Woody Sayles’ duct cleaning organization DUCTBUSTERS. The strategic merger created what the brand says is the largest and most technically advanced organization within the industry. Today, there are 78 DUCTZ locations, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/franchises/directory/ductz/322807?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-ductz-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724127" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Entrepreneur</a>.&nbsp;<h3>What Is the DUCTZ Business Model?</h3>The core of the DUCTZ air duct cleaning and HVAC franchise is the relationships that franchisees create within their local communities. Franchisees partner with local restoration businesses, real estate agents and property managers in their markets to capture the growing demand for residential and commercial air duct cleaning services.&nbsp;DUCTZ also helps home and business owners respond to a property loss. Because DUCTZ is part of BELFOR Franchise Group, a leading franchisor in the restoration and cleaning industry, the brand is trusted nationwide to perform restoration work. The franchise’s relationship with BELFOR Property Restoration lets franchise owners benefit from access to large-scale projects through our National Service Team. This team gives owners the opportunity to participate in commercial projects, often after a disaster, and join forces with BELFOR Property Restoration, as well as other BELFOR Franchise Group brands.&nbsp;“The majority of our work comes from the restoration sector,” said Jessica Wicks, DUCTZ brand president. “DUCTZ is a service franchise that really focuses on indoor air quality, HVAC restoration, dryer vent cleaning, condenser coil cleaning — services that restoration brands don’t specialize in. So we help to restore the HVAC system back to its natural state so that it’s in its prime efficiency. Generally, we respond alongside restoration companies to tornadoes, floods, fires and other disasters. We help restore a home or other property’s HVAC system(s), and make it safe for home and property owners to live and work in their spaces again.”&nbsp;After each franchise launches, DUCTZ franchisees benefit from support, including regular meetings to chart progress and ensure that they’re following the business model. Ongoing support includes an in-house marketing team. The brand’s comprehensive approach to marketing includes:<ul><li>Help growing your digital footprint</li><li>Advice on lead generation</li><li>Helping you monitor online review sites</li><li>Building a social media presence</li><li>Building brand awareness</li><li>Ongoing advice on marketing budgets</li></ul><h3>How Much Can DUCTZ Franchise Owners Make?</h3>Earnings for DUCTZ owners are not publicly available.&nbsp;<h3>How Much Does It Cost To Open DUCTZ?</h3>The total investment for owning a DUCTZ franchise is $170,621 to $236,731. To franchise with DUCTZ, you will need to have the required minimum liquid capital of $100,000.&nbsp;<h3>What Is the Franchise Fee for DUCTZ?</h3>The franchise fee is $49,900, according to Entrepreneur.&nbsp;<h3>Who Is the Leadership of DUCTZ?</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rusty-amarante-99a63650/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-ductz-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724127" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Rusty Amarante</a> — President of BELFOR Franchise Group</li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-wicks-b69b4425/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-ductz-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724127" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jessica Wicks</a> — President of DUCTZ International, LLC and DUCTZ North America</li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-osness-92192235/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-ductz-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724127" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ken Osness</a> — Vice President of Franchise Development</li></ul><h3>What Helpful Articles Can I Read to Learn More About DUCTZ?</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/franchises/directory/ductz/322807?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-ductz-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724127" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Start a DUCTZ Franchise in 2023</a></li><li><a href="https://ductz.com/franchise/hvac-cleaning-business/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-ductz-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724127" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Start An HVAC Cleaning Business With DUCTZ</a></li><li><a href="https://ductz.com/franchise/finance-a-franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-ductz-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724127" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">How To Finance A Franchise With DUCTZ</a></li><li><a href="https://ductz.com/franchise/improve-indoor-air-quality/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-ductz-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724127" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Improve Indoor Air Quality With a DUCTZ Franchise</a></li><li><a href="https://ductz.com/franchise/top-hvac-franchises/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-ductz-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724127" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">DUCTZ Listed Among Top HVAC Franchises</a></li></ul> Disclaimer: This content is for informational purposes only.
